Startups: Come Get $20,000 In Funding And An 8-Week NYC Summer Incubator Program

SeedStart, a joint effort among several venture firms to spur entrepreneurship, is launching a summer program aimed at technology startups based in New York City.

The early-stage tech startups that are selected to be a part of the eight-week program will each receive a $20,000 investment, as well as mentorship from experienced NYC-based VCs entrepreneurs, administrative and technical help, free office space, and expert guidance in the legal and business aspects of launching a company and a product.

At the end of the eight weeks, each team will have the opportunity to present their product to a panel of VCs and angel investors to acquire further funding and launch their business.

Owen Davis, Managing Director of NYC Seed, describes the summer session as "a great program for very early stage companies to find the initial support and resources they need to thrive within the burgeoning New York City technology ecosystem."

Interested? Teams of two to four founders can apply here; the application deadline is February 28, 2010.
